How we process your data
The type of personal data processed by the council depends on the specific function being undertaken. In the majority of situations it is restricted to the processing of video images and audio recordings obtained via its use of its fixed public space CCTV devices installed across the borough in our town centres and council premises, it’s mobile (re-deployable) CCTV units and its body worn cameras. For more information on the location of the fixed CCTV systems, please visit our CCTV page.
The personal information collected by these CCTV systems may be used for the following purposes:
- For the prevention or detection of crime
- For the apprehension or prosecution of offenders
- For the assessment of collection of any tax due or duty or any imposition of a similar nature
- For immediate action relating to live incidents for example: an immediate pursuit
- For the purpose of, or in connection with, any legal proceedings (including prospective legal proceedings)
- Where it is otherwise necessary for the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal rights
- For major incidents which may occur
